I am using the Tough Mudder as an excuse to eat and bake more. Gotta have lots of padding when I fall off those 12 feet walls, right?
So this happened. 
And so did this.
Peanut Butter Easter Eggs and Microwave Caramel Corn. More to come on the eggs later. Let's focus on the caramel corn I have been using and recreating the Caramel corn recipe for a while now. Last Christmas I used it for gifts.
So, I will tell you all my secrets. Here are the ingredients.
I apologize for the super sketchy screen shots. But I wanted you to get the recipe, and not just have to direct you to allrecipes.com to find it on your own. And here are the directions.
I basically followed the directions. Mostly. I added about a teaspoon of cinnamon. You start out with popped popcorn.
I dumped that stuff into a huge paper bag. I also made sure to spray it. One review said it worked... And I've always had issues with it sticking to the sides.
Big ol' bag. You then mix all the other ingredients together (minus the baking soda.) Looks like this.
After you add the baking soda, it foams up and looks like this (my fave part).
Mix it!
First, let's take note of my pajama pants and mismatched socks (it was 5pm).
Just as the recipe suggests, you do a mixture of shaking, microwaving, shaking, and moving with a spatula. I microwaved at 30 second intervals... Unlike the 1 1/2 minutes that the recipe suggests. Then lay it out on a pan.
Oh it's glorious.
I also added nuts. Mixed nuts. I put them in so they were also coated in the mixture. They were fine in the microwave.
Then I added drizzled white chocolate, and other chunks of candy.
Are you drooling yet?
Pretty uncomplicated, right? And on that note, I will leave you with this pic. It started growing and I want to see how big it gets.
